std.math.exponential

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted Unqual!F pow(F, G)(F x, G n)
if (isFloatingPoint!F && isIntegral!G);

Compute the value of x ⁿ, where n is an integer

Examples:

import std.math.operations : feqrel;

writeln(pow(2.0, 5)); // 32.0
assert(pow(1.5, 9).feqrel(38.4433) > 16);
assert(pow(real.nan, 2) is real.nan);
writeln(pow(real.infinity, 2)); // real.infinity

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted typeof(Unqual!F.init * Unqual!G.init) pow(F, G)(F x, G n)
if (isIntegral!F && isIntegral!G);

Compute the power of two integral numbers.

Parameters:

F x	base
G n	exponent

Returns:

x raised to the power of n. If n is negative the result is 1 / pow(x, -n), which is calculated as integer division with remainder. This may result in a division by zero error.

If both x and n are 0, the result is 1.

Throws:

If x is 0 and n is negative, the result is the same as the result of a division by zero.

Examples:

writeln(pow(2, 3)); // 8
writeln(pow(3, 2)); // 9

writeln(pow(2, 10)); // 1_024
writeln(pow(2, 20)); // 1_048_576
writeln(pow(2, 30)); // 1_073_741_824

writeln(pow(0, 0)); // 1

writeln(pow(1, -5)); // 1
writeln(pow(1, -6)); // 1
writeln(pow(-1, -5)); // -1
writeln(pow(-1, -6)); // 1

writeln(pow(-2, 5)); // -32
writeln(pow(-2, -5)); // 0
writeln(pow(cast(double)-2, -5)); // -0.03125

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted real pow(I, F)(I x, F y)
if (isIntegral!I && isFloatingPoint!F);

Computes integer to floating point powers.

Examples:

writeln(pow(2, 5.0)); // 32.0
writeln(pow(7, 3.0)); // 343.0
assert(pow(2, real.nan) is real.nan);
writeln(pow(2, real.infinity)); // real.infinity

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted Unqual!(Largest!(F, G)) pow(F, G)(F x, G y)
